PhD Candidate in Biology - Molecular Biomedicine & Ageing | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This role offers an ambitious scientist the opportunity to pursue a PhD within the International PhD Programme (IPP) in Mainz, specifically joining the research group of Johannes Mayer. The successful candidate will work on a cutting-edge project titled 'Defining Myeloid cell Ageing and its immunological impact on a single cell level.' Day-to-day responsibilities include mapping how inflammatory signals reroute progenitor-to-effector differentiation using single-cell and multi-omic profiling, integrated with trajectory inference and network modeling. You will utilize an integrated toolkit combining single-cell sequencing, high-dimensional flow cytometry, and transgenic mouse models to study myeloid biology. This position is highly attractive for those seeking to work in a lively international environment with interdisciplinary projects that push the boundaries of research in epigenetics, DNA repair, and cellular identity. The role provides a structured path to a doctoral degree while collaborating with an international community of exceptional scientists.
